This patchset is quite special though, as it touches a lot of subsystems 
and depends on code not yet present in mainline ... quoting Andrew's reply 
to me:

yeah, sorry, that's been confusing a few people.

Strictly I'd merge the core infrastructure and then send the dependent 
patches into the relevant maintainers.  But that can mean than we 
needlessly miss the merge window, so it's most parctical to send along an 
acked-by and I'll merge the dependent patch directly with the appropriate 
ordering.
